One of animated comedy's lost gems July 3, 2007
C. S. Hazelden (Colne, Lancs. UK.)
I first learned about the critic after listening to the commentary for the Simpsons episode A star is burns. Having seen the episode many times I wanted to find out more about it. To my horror the DVD is only available in NTSC format and so far the only place I can see it is at YouTube.com.
The one and only series of The Critic charts the agonising life of film critic Jay Sherman who faces a constant battle with his TV station bosses to keep his show on the air but his problems don't end there. He is also having to cope with a bitter divorce and raise his son. The series is full of hiilarious lines, great slapstick comedy and Jay's catchpharse "It stinks!" with which he tags nearly every film he reviews.
The show owes a lot of its parentage to the Simpsons with voices by Nancy Cartright and Phil Hartman. Various members of the Simpsons production team worked on the series too.
The Critic's dry wit and satire didn't find favour in the ratings and was cancelled after one series. If you like animated comedy series such as Stressed Eric or The Simpsons and live in America go buy it. If your in the UK or Europe go to Youtube for the time being. Come on release it in PAL format! I want a copy!
